Perched upon a plateau rising out of the ravines of the Tiber River valley, the sleepy hill town of Civita di Bagnoregio in Italy’s Lazio region can only be reached by a lengthy footbridge from its busier sister town of Bagnoregio. Photo by @masinutoscana

Il paese che muore! Such a unique place! This village with only 8 residents is known as "The Dying City" because everything there is crumbling and because the houses are falling off the cliffs little by little! 😱 #civitadibagnoregio

'The town that disappear'. This 'castle in the sky' risks to collapse into the valley due to its soft volcanic base. Perched on exceptionally unsound foundations, the hamlet has gradually been reduced due to centuries of earthquakes and landslides which have chipped away at its soft volcanic base. The original town centre remains intact, however, the town is inaccessible to vehicles other than mopeds. The town founded by the Etruscans more than 2,500 years ago refuses to die and it's strong the fervent desire to keep it very much alive.
